Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Peanut Chaat
- For extra crunch, add some sev (crispy chickpea flour noodles) or bhujia (crispy fried lentil snacks).
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level according to your preference.
- If you don't have amchur powder, you can substitute with a pinch of citric acid or tamarind paste for a similar tangy flavor.
- For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of roasted sesame seeds along with the cumin seeds.
